Some former NFL players are happy to see their records get broken by players from the new generation. Eric Dickerson is not of the same mindset.

At some point this week, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni will decide if he's going for it or punting — will Saquon Barkley get his shot at breaking Eric Dickerson's NFL season rushing record, or will Philadelphia's star running back sit out a meaningless finale and protect his health for a playoff run?

Saquon Barkley is on the verge of history. Barkley exploded on Sunday as his Philadelphia Eagles smashed the Dallas Cowboys 41-7. The star running back racked up 167 yards on 31 carries, which put him over 2,000 rushing yards on the season. He became only the ninth player in NFL history to accomplish that feat and he still has one week to go.
